I make our syrup a point heavy on the hydrometer and run it throu the filter press that way and into the drum. When we bottle it,we pump it into the canner and heat it up to 190f and around 180f we...

I run mine through twice to 7% then to 20% and go.
A big factor is weather, rain wind etc. The old timers around here said if the wind blows and cracks the limbs a little in the fall the sap will be sweeter the next spring. The soil is one of the...
Yes as long as it is refrigerated. I ro to 7 and let it sit for 24 hrs as long as it is around 40 deg f. and had no problems.
I am so sorry for your loss, that is hard. I will say a prayer for you and your family, I can't even emagine what you are going through, it makes all my problems seam selfish. Hang in there and take...
In Vermont it is only legal to use food grade acid (citric) and or bio-membrain ect, clorox Bleach in well ventalated areas. The quicker you boil it the better.
The more surface area you can get and the shallow the depth of the sap the faster the sap will evaporate. This will take less Btu's required to boil the sap. I would say Yes depending on the size of...
My wife and I boiled yesterday and sweetend the pans and ended up with 3 2/3 barrels of syrup in 4hrs.The filter presses pluged alot, we have 2 ten in. presses and my wife changed them constantly, we...
It happens, if a spout don't get pulled and is a stubby pull it, place the new spout in tree and install the same old stubby and continue on.

On the Cheap, Buy a gallon. That said, the first thing to look at is the max taps you have or going to have and set up from there. I have gone through a number of holding tanks, evaporators filter...
The north woods is tapped but took alot more time than last year, there is 15-16 hundred taps over there and 3 days with 3 of us because the snow was so deep. One section of it was redone this year...
